Joe, a user, has installed a new monitor on an existing system. Joe calls a support technician and reports that everything on the new display is fuzzy. Which of the following describes what needs to be changed to correct this issue?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. The display resolution needs to match the native resolution. LCD monitors have a fixed pixel grid, and only when driven at their native resolution does each pixel map exactly 1:1, producing a sharp image. When set to a non-native resolution, the display must scale the image, introducing interpolation artifacts that appear as fuzziness or blurriness.

Answer

B. The old graphics card does not support the new monitor. An older graphics card not supporting the new monitor would more likely result in no display output or limited resolution options, not a universally fuzzy image.

Answer

C. The new monitor cable needs to have aluminum cores installed. Monitor cables do not have aluminum cores that can be installed or swapped; cable quality issues would cause signal loss or noise, not the typical fuzziness from a resolution mismatch.

Answer

D. The new monitor requires updated drivers to be installed. Most modern monitors work without specific drivers using generic display drivers; a driver issue would more likely cause incorrect resolution options rather than system-wide fuzziness.
